Galileo® Pre-K Online: Assessment and Curriculum Fidelity Tool

Galileo Pre-K Online provides early childhood educators a
complete curriculum, fully integrated into an assessment and reporting system
that links curriculum, assessment, planning, individualization, and program
outcomes. Galileo provides a data-driven, research-based, and standards-aligned
approach to providing developmentally appropriate learning opportunities for
infants, toddlers, and children ages 3 through 5.

An integrated assessment and curriculum system such as
Galileo Pre-K is most effective in promoting children’s learning when
implementation is consistent, managed and monitored. Fidelity of implementation
occurs when programs use the Galileo Pre-K Online system in the way that ATI
designed it to be used. To assist programs in evaluating the fidelity of
implementation, ATI has created the Galileo Pre-K Online: Assessment and
Curriculum Fidelity Tool. Through monitoring efforts and observational data
collected with the Assessment and Curriculum Fidelity Tool, appropriate use of
Galileo Pre-K can be verified. The Assessment and Curriculum Fidelity Tool is
divided into four focus areas: monitoring Galileo use, the physical classroom
environment, professional practices, and management and instruction. Each focus area is made up of guiding
questions to assist the administrator in monitoring implementation and includes
a Specific Examples/Notes section for documenting evidence, data sources, and
special comments or notes. The administrator utilizing the Assessment and
Curriculum Fidelity Tool can identify areas where support, feedback, training
and professional development can further continuous improvement.

Learn more about this tool by attending the Assessment
and Curriculum Fidelity Tool Learning on Demand Webinar.
